Abstract

It is known that perfectly trapped surface waves exist at certain eigenfrequencies near a vertical cylinder in a long channel, or an infinite and periodic array of vertical cylinders, and excitation by incident waves of the same frequency is not possible according to the linear theory. We present a nonlinear theory whereby a trapped wave near a cylinder in a channel is excited subharmonically by an incident wave of twice the eigenfrequency. The effects of geometrical parameters on the initial growth of resonance and the final amplification are studied in detail.
